MARINE SCIENCE MINOR

(20 Credits)

The marine science minor provides a basic introduction to the field of marine science. Requirements for the minor include 8 credits of introductory level marine science and 12 credits of upper level marine science. Students who major in other fields within the College of Science or who major in areas outside of College of Science should consider minoring in marine science if their career goals within their major include applications to the marine environment. For example, a history major who wants to pursue employment in the field of maritime history should consider a minor in marine science or a biology major who wants to pursue employment in coastal environments should consider this minor.
